Dine at Hacienda AltaGracia

Farm-to-fork. Locally inspired.

FARM-TO-FORK TAKES ON A DEEPER MEANING HERE

“La Huerta,” our 20-acre sustainably-managed farm, is still managed by Eladio Soto, the same local who tendered the hacienda during AltaGracia’s days as a coffee plantation. But instead of beans, he now focuses his energy on cultivating the best local fruits and vegetables for our restaurants, from Ambar, our signature fine-dining restaurant overlooking the valley to the casual, poolside Vistaverde.

Stories from Hacidenda Alta Gracia

Do Bird-Friendly Brew

“Am I really here? Can you pinch me?” said my husband almost every morning during our coffee-sourcing trip to Hacienda AltaGracia. We came to select the perfect beans for our shop in Vancouver, as Costa Rica is considered one of the best coffee growing regions in the world - it's the only country where it's illegal to produce any type of coffee other than 100 percent Arabica beans. Though we tried the renowned Tarrazú Geisha coffee before - the most expensive coffee ever sold by Starbucks - we came for the bird-friendly beans found in the Perez Zeledon mountains, an area where mountainous terrain and warm temperatures collide to form the ideal conditions for Arabica beans to flourish.
